Trailer of movie looked good. But movie itself a total let down. The back story ok but starts to get very boring very quick. Only worthy actor is Oris in my opinion. The rest are quite over the top. Maybe the acting is just generally below average or the writing and direction terrible, not getting the full potential out the actors. Could have been far better than what it was. I do not see this a horror or scarefest movie. It was just a low budget effort to be a cult/horror with people almost like KKK with the white hoods and coats. Learn from mistakes and make better in future. Millions of good movies out there in this type of genre.

The scariest dysfunctional family ever to hit the screens. A relationship between a mother and son ( brilliantly portrayed by Rosalind Stockwell and James Bryhan) to rival that of Norman Bates and "mother" I thought this was going to be another in the woods horror and so didn't have much expectation, but as I watched the entwining levels of emotions , both human and beyond, the story became less black and white and more shades of grey. David Lamont was full on twisted and sickening. Something all horror bad guys should be. Evil and funny , almost a Freddy Krueger minus the claws , but seeing what he does to one of the characters, he doesn't need claws. Bryhan's performance was fantastic. The range of human emotions from the underlying subtle nuances when with his Mother shows a history of some sort of abuse with the little lost boy to the full out rage and frustration only matched by Stockwells magnificence. I only wish these two had more screen time together.

I'm a true supporter of indys. However, when you can clearly see cast and crew rating their own movie 10/10, then it goes to show the calibre of the film before watching it. The film itself should do the talking. Its the same with all the films from this cast and crew, reviewing their own work. Honestly, the film lacked a sense of direction with a confused storyline. It seems the focus shifted more towards the over the top and somewhat laughable acting at times rather than having a good story to follow, but they both needed more investment. 2 stars out of 10 for the effort. Otherwise i'd recommend they stick to their day job.

5 stars on Prime!? Whyyyy??! Horrible movie. No plot, confusing, skips around, boring and stupid. I wish I could find a good part or scary part anywhere in the movie. We kept v debating whether or not to just stop watching it, but I kept wanting to see the part that warranted 5 stars. Don't bother. That part is not there. One star at best. We are 3/4 way through it and I don't think I can make myself watch anymore. It's just long streams of curse words and a lot of talking, but saying nothing. Nothing scared at all about this movie except that people actually gave it 5 stars! Poor acting, plot, and special effects. Very low budget.

Any review that has less that maybe 2 or 3 stars is from someone either related to the actors, film crew or are in fact the actors and film crew as this has to be the worst thing I've seen in a long time and I have seen some really bad stuff.

I cannot give you any spoilers as I think I managed to get about a quarter of the way through before I could feel my brain cells dying at the bad acting, stupid plot line, horrible camera work and as for the horrors, I swear when I got to the 3 men in a field draped in sheets with dark make up on I logged out. Absolute trash.

I know that people need to learn on the job and so sometimes you can watch a "bad movie" but also see some sort of potential this is just bad. No redeeming quality.
